    What think you guys of 28/1 D Clarke as top Irish player? Obviously if Rory finds his mojo it's out the window but does that not represent value in a five-man field?

    Don't worry what anyone else thinks, back it if you fancy it. The winners last weekend were 500-1 & 300-1. Anything is possible. Fancy Thorbjorn Olesen myself outright, pity that he has to play 2 days with McIlroy the circus act, bit of a negative, he is between 80 & 100-1, depending who her bookie is

    Dismissed Tiger initially (hype factor, and short prices)

    But noticed he finished within T12 on this course back in 99 & 07, avall <@29.

    With 10pl have about 4 short priced and another 5 triple-digit wildcards.
    As always very small stakes e/w arrays on very high-yield accas.

    I would have thought that was a reason not to back him considering his record in majors at that time compared to now, he won three claret jugs and had 4 top tens in that period, I dont think he was ever fully comfortble at Carnoustie to be honest.

    Fivers on Molinari and Noren outright, Knox top Euro, Southgate top GB&I, Clarke top Irish, all round 30/1.

    Both the Top 12 finishes there aren't that far away from a Top 10 finish. He seems to be mostly injury free and on better form these days with a very recent T4 (Quicken). The hype factor is always going to shorten odds.

    Other news:
    Lyle makes his final apperance and the 60yo is 1st to start at 06:35hrs.
    This year has bouncy (dry) greens(yellows), so less driving and more strategy.
    There is a VR machine in the hotel for nerds to practice the course.

    Iceland have their 1st entrant in the Open (Magnus @1500) fingers crossed for a long loud fanbase thunderclap on every shot!

    Few favs: FleetW@19, Woods@26-29, Fitz@56, Simpson@126.
    Few 10pl e/w wilcards on the accas include: Jones@300 MKim@300, Lewis@400, Kraft@500, Senior@750, Robinson@1000, Curtis@2500.

    1stRL market looks good also with 8pl: Hoffman@41, Rose@26, Hatton@41, Leishman@46, Southgate@46.

    A pile up at the end of R4, could well render the 10pl(1/5) into 'less practical value' than a regular 6pl(1/4) due to dead heat rules etc.

    Gone for Speith, for a bit of interest

    Don't think this year's form really justifies it, but we shall see if he is motivated by being defending champion

    With so many new guys doing the biz golf has become more of a puzzle (for me) so i did not do two much study this week despite the excellent golf section in the Racing Post.

    I had two bets,Patrick Reid ew online 10 places and also in the shop 7 places at 40/1 with stake back if 2nd 3rd or 4th and for some reason i feel McIlroy will get it together this week so i backed him ew at 9/1 (5 places) to be top European.

    This is his last event as he prepares to head off to the US to try and get some of the easy money on the Senior Tour.

    He will most likely miss the cut but now that he has made the decision to go he may be under less pressure and he could actually perform a bit better than usual.

    Fowler FRL at 33/1 just before his tee off time this morning. Hopefully can regain some of his form from last week and keep bogeys off the card.

    well done! no mean feat to pick the 1-2 in a major



    I was on kisner at a very big price when -3 in round one, he had his chance.

    molinari suprised me, so composed today and delighted for him and actually wanted him to win more than the picks I backed.

    @howido, when tiger took the lead he looked so good when everyone else was choking more or less, wouldnt have touched him with a bargepole, happy to see you won on both though :)

    DJ isn't hanging around in the WGC, -6 on 8th of R4 (T4).
    from @41 into 26, but bit short with just 2pl.

    Needless to say a good contender for the (10pl) USPGA @10.

    No-one cares about the PGA? I suppose when it's not on telly...

    I'm on Rory, Justin Thomas and Olesen outright, Tiger top American. Was going to do Rory and Justin anyway, but I had to add Tiger when I saw the three of them in a group, even though I wouldn't be surprised if he missed the cut...

    Hard to see past Justin@15 as win only.
    1stRL Day was @23 8pl, but price since dropped.

    Avoiding Tiger (possible signs of injury return), and Rory still on a good, but dry-ish spell.

    Wilder cards for both Outright (10pl) and/or 1RL: Tony Finau.
    Sky only 8pl but better for Fleetwood@26, Simpson@56, Kuchar@67.

    Pp has a special 9/1 - dj, Rory or justin Thomas 1st rnd leader. I usually back outsiders for this market, but I think that's a nice price.
